Finding Good in the Bad

In an interesting article in the NY Times, Jeffrey Katzenberg (pictured above), the CEO of DreamWorks Animation shared a few valuable nuggets:

* He learned his most valuable lessons from his worst bosses.
* In regard to leadership in today's world, the most important thing is to make people feel secure.
* In order to be innovative you must take risks. Taking risks means that failure is a possibility so they don't expect that every single thing will be a hit. As a result their employees aren't afraid to make mistakes.
* In leadership respect is so important. Not so much from the followers, but rather from the leader to those he/she is leading.
* One of the most valuable lessons came from being fired from Disney...it opened up all sorts of doors.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.
Romans 8:28
